01:21:19BAFTAnoThe writer-directors of The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Change of Meatballs and upcoming Batman Lego Movie and Star Wars spin-off unpick their collaborative writing process and offer in-depth screenwriting advice.
“Everything is awesome” may be a song title from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s film The Lego Movie (2014), but it could just as easily be used to describe the careers of the writer-director-producer duo right now. The pair, collectively known as Lord Miller, are on the up-and- up, bringing the Midas effect to seemingly every new film they touch. Perhaps a key to this success is their versatility, the ability to switch seamlessly between the guises of writers, directors and producers. They also seem to have an inherent understanding of pop culture and how to imaginatively use it to generate the greatest laughs.
That’s certainly evident in The Lego Movie. It was also a key element in the success of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009), the animated film that first set them on their current golden path. Outside of screenwriting, it’s hard to ignore Lord Miller’s other successes. Over the past decade or so, they have co-executive produced 17 episodes (and wrote two) of the How I Met Your Mother; they directed live-action comedy 21 Jump Street (2012) and its sequel 22 Jump Street (2014) and directed and executive produced the pilot episode of the golden globe-winning Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It must all seem a far cry from their days at Dartmouth College in the US, where the pair first met while taking an introductory animation course. This led to jobs developing Saturday morning cartoons for Disney, before they had their first primetime television experience creating Clone High (2000).The writer-directors of The Lego Movie, Cloudy wi…The writer-directors of The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Change of Meatballs and upcoming Batman Lego Movie and Star Wars spin-off unpick their collaborative writing process and offer in-depth screenwriting advice.

00:46:58BAFTAnoWriter-director Park Chan-wook's gives an in-depth look at this career and the craft of screenwriting.
There is nothing quite like entering the dark and twisted worlds of Chan-wook’s films. Breathtakingly beautiful and, at the same time, deeply horrifying, his films are awash with expertly drawn characters, rich environments and nightmarish storylines.
Oldboy (2003) brought Park to international attention. The second part of a loosely connected trilogy, all themed around the concept of vengeance (the other two being Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance [2002] and Lady Vengeance [2005]), Oldboy expertly plays with the emotions and allegiances of its audience.
Park seems to take a gleeful joy in subverting his audiences’ expectations, slowly revealing hidden sides and agendas for his main characters and plot twists that continually surprise. For instance, The Humanist (2001) puts a surprising spin on the blackmail crime genre. I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK (2006) challenges preconceptions about mental health, set to a science fiction backdrop. And Thirst (2009) is not your typical vampire horror flick.

01:11:45BAFTAnoKenneth Longeran, writer-director of Manchester by The Sea, offers insights on his process and collaboration and shares advice for aspiring screenwriters.
Kenneth Longergan’s stories are predominantly engaging character-driven dramas that explore the minutiae of the human condition and its many challenges and complexities, in such an intuitive way that they can’t fail to sympathetically connect with an audience. Often provocative, always sensitive, his films rarely offer easy answers, they simply provide a profound and poetic glimpse into the lives of everyday characters. Born in New York, Lonergan originally tasted success on the stage, writing shows that would perform both off and on Broadway. His first film script was for Analyze This (1999), before deciding to both pen and direct his next feature, You Can Count on Me (2000). It turned out to be a wise decision, with the script earning him both Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.
Margaret, about a young woman (Anna Paquin) who witnesses a bus accident and must deal with the consequences, was completed in 2007 but became mired in distribution hell. When it was eventually released in 2011, it garnered great reviews and more awards recognition. Sandwiched in between these two, he wrote The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000) and worked on Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York (2002), the latter collecting both BAFTA and Oscar nods, with fellow writers Jay Cocks and Steven Zaillian.Kenneth Longeran, writer-director of Manchester b…Kenneth Longeran, writer-director of Manchester by The Sea, offers insights on his process and collaboration and shares advice for aspiring screenwriters.

01:25:18BAFTAnoIt's well documented that cinemas are moving to total digitisation in the next few years, and the received wisdom is that this will be cheaper for distributors and cinemas, and should allow for greater audience choice on our screens.
But what are the creative and economic implications of this move for the filmmakers - directors, DoPs, producers, facilities companies and how is this affecting the way we preserve the work. Our panellists ask whether they are losing the choice to decide whether to shoot and screen on film or digital, and if so, what is being lost?
We bring together major Directors, DoPs, and technical professionals to look at these questions and some of the lesser understood arguments from their perspective..
Panel includes:
Kevin Macdonald - Director, Marley, Touching The Void.
Iain Softley – Director, K-Pax, Wings of the Dove, Backbeat and the upcoming Trap for Cinderella
John Mathieson – DoP, Gladiator, X-Men: First Class, Great Expectations
Hector MacLeod - CEO, Glassworks, post-production and visual effects facility
Charles Fairall – Head of Conservation, BFI National Archive
